"Hope is a lantern calling our innermost yearnings.

Joanna May Wharton has always struggled to fit into mainstream expectations. Various invisible disabilities and other challenges propelled her into navigating the realms of PTSD and raising children on the spectrum.
However, through it all Joanna embraced her gift of surrealist wonder and grace to find the golden threads to transform hardship and suffering into the power of deep joy. Describing herself as an author, photographer, poet and visionary, Joanna says multidisciplinary arts and compassion are conductors of healing.
